2015 Pioneer Day Concert with Laura Osnes (Music for a Summer Evening) | The Tabernacle Choir

[@kevinjensen1891]

In listening to soloists sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, I have never heard a more beautiful voice than Laura Osnes. I have heard one other one that is pretty much equal, Sissel's. Beautiful voice.

[@timrossmultimedia]

I love this entire concert and have returned to it many times. But, man-o-man, when they belt out Oklahoma I well up. How can so many world class musicians and singers live in one small desert community!!!? I know the reason and it makes me so very thankful I'm a part of it. ALWAYS uplifting, inspirational, and confidence building... God is at the helm! Th

[@hkatej]

I think this might be my favorite Pioneer Day concert. The cheerful spirit really celebrated the pioneers, and it was so fun to watch! The choir and orchestra were great, and Laura really glowed.

[@Mrhightech]

Thank you! We were among the thrilled audience Friday and are sharing this link with everyone we know. God bless you Choir, Orchestra, Mack, Ryan and especially Laura!!

[@sallyniemzyk6964]

Here is hoping that this absolutely tremendous talent, charming personality and spiritually touching lovely gal...Laura Osnes...that she will soon come back to the Mormon Tabernacle to perform again and again!

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

Laura is a Princess! What a performance- I love this song!

The best choir I have ever seen in my life. I hope some day see the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.

[@Nyck461]

Amazing concert with the best music ever. At the end the two conductors should also receive flowers for their superb performance. They are the best.

[@WillFairbanks-zk3ds]

Wow! This concert was awesome! 👏 Great job Laura Osnes!

[@Luis19301]

The Tabernacle Choir, the Orchestra at Temple Square and the voice of Laura Osnes did a beautiful "Music for a Summer Evening". Greetings from Chile

[@mwizerwafelix3985]

It is Amazing! Even if English is not my mother tong but I do appreciate the performance of this Choir. Congratulations you did a huge work God is with all of you and will never forget what you did in this concert. Thank you!

[@UncleOafie]

As wonderful as this Conference organ is...and the history and story of the tree from which the wooden case is made from...organist Richard Elliot performs and showcases this organ with such melodious sounds you just don't hear in Conference or Music & the Spoken Word, and I LOVE IT! This guy is so brilliantly talented. Laura Osnes has the voice of an angel and sings beautifully with the MOTAB Choir, Orchestra, and Conductors. This truly is excellent uplifting world class entertainment!

[@rickmiller462]

Mack Wilberg is truly a blessed Church treasure.

[@Paolo91948]

Un ottimo strumento per toccare i cuori, unire i diversi sentimenti religiosi, annullare i nazionalismi prevaricanti, far convergere culture diverse, divertirsi, gioire e pregare insieme. Un'espressione di alta professionalità!

[@floridabaer12]

ein wunderschönes Konzert ,was man immer hören möchte

[@Josecastillo1956]

I wish to express my gratitude to the Mormon Pioneers for their example of courage, faith, hope and charity. These are the characteristics of those who have taken upon themselves the name of Jesus Christ. Your generosity and sacrifice knew no bounds and until the end of our posterity their steps will guide our paths as missionaries and witnesses of Christ's love.

[@earlcarr9284]

[@fatimaapilado5500]

Hopefully i can step on that stage in the near future and sing together with the Bothers and Sisters. I admired all your songs you look like angels singing in heaven.

[@lencarniato]

We made a trip from Ca to SLC just to attend this performance and it was wonderful. I've listened to "Music and the Spoken Word" all my life and finally realized my dream of attending a live performance of the choir. Laura Osnes really added a lot and together, she and the choir created a memory I'll never forget.

INIGUALAVEL. Emocionante. esse país de lingua inglesa mostra a sua grandesa , também, através da musica....a musicalidade dos seus cidadãos. Lindo!

[@kathleenogles7393]

I loved every minute of this wonderful music.

[@bjpowellalamo]

This was my first Pioneer Concert to attend and it was so moving and wonderful being with family and friends, especially being able to see my 2nd generation LDS daughter singing in thee Choir made my heart within me swell. The Orchestra and Choir are First Class. Everyone was moved and elevated to a higher level of appreciation and gratitude for our many blessing. Laura was amazing and fit in so well with the Choir and Orchestra. We were all touched and she and her husband were shown appreciation at the end of the last performance with "God Be With You." I especially loved the arrangement of the "Handcart Song," by Sam Cardoon who was also responsible for the music in the wonderful documentary "Meet the Mormons."

[@Troopergeoff]

!

[@AvalonMorley]

Aaack! I can't believe they had that glorious choir right there, and didn't use them for "All The Things You Are"; as lovely as it sounded here, it could have been heart-and spirit-exploding.

[@guadalupevalencia5461]

Un magnifico concierto agradezco k lo publiquen para todas las personas del mundo es inspirador!

[@apaigeintyme]

I love this song “ All Is Well “.

Really enjoy! Thank you for sharing!

[@doririoscernadas2254]

FANTÁSTICO, MARAVILLOSO!!!! GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR!!!!!!

[@CatsJams]

I love this entire uploload. BUT my favorite part starts (which I usually have to spend a long time searching KZbin to find) at 28:10 (where Laura introduces her husband). Laura makes it personal .. .which makes this song all the more heart-felt and emotional. Ack, call me an emotional buffoon. Even at my age I still believe in God-given romance!

[@wgrroseberry]

Happy Pioneer Day! God bless you all!

[@Granitodearena4924]

Excelentes conciertos ,orquesta y súper coro,bendiciones

[@Correlationable]

Whew, that first song was hugely unique - The Magnificent 7. A group of American's who liberate a small rural Mexican Village from a horrible bandit leader and most died in doing so. So the the moral courage of that incident and the moral courage of pioneers fleeing a country that had gone bigoted on them only to reunite with them and become what some now call "Super Americans."

[@BrendaDawe]

Wow... I only remember the music....that sounds more like Walt's likes.

[@lilitasud]

Wished that close captioning was available initially.

[@BrendaDawe]

Old Judy Garland song..." Forget Your Troubles ...Come on Get Ready" should be able to get those lyrics on You Tube. Would be great if it was CC though. She has easy listening to voice.

[@BrendaDawe]

Don... her second song is "IF I LOVED YOU"... what a beautiful song (I've only heard it sung by a man....not remember who.)

[@yordansaputra]

I'm here only to hear Laura's voice

[@ronowens9426]

What GLORIOUS music! One concern. Doesn't Mac Wilberg EVER smile? He is always scowling. Is he suffering from terminal seriousness? Apparently he never read Spencer Kinard's book, The Worth of a Smile.

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Laura Osnes was marvelous for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas program. But there is something in me that wants to see an LDS singer at our Pioneer Day Concerts. It is a Latter-day Saint legacy, and I would ten-times rather see a no-name LDS singer sing about our heritage. This is one concert which I feel should not cater to Broadway singers and show tunes, but rather to our own heritage.

[@gamalieli]

+Glen Danielsen Reach out to others.

[@CatsJams]

I understand what you are saying and your "tinge of disappointment." But consider this: if every artist who appeared at Temple Square was a Mormon, imagine the numbers of us internet/youtube searchers who would never find these amazing uploads. I have major theological issues with LDS ... but I love, LOVE their music/uploads!

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Hi CatsJams and gamalieli! Yah, we are in agreement. And I think I did not make my own idea very clear. My tinge of disappointment was only because that particular celebration - the Pioneer Day Celebration - is a very personal one for Latter-day Saints. It is a day of remembrance that recalls for us the sacrifices and pioneer resilience of a persecuted people. Crossing the plains, hundreds dropped dead and were buried along the way in shallow graves. It's just not appropriate, I think, to have someone to headline the celebration who does not specifically share in the heritage of those pioneer saints. By contrast, the Latter-day Saint annual Christmas celebration almost always has a non-LDS guest artist. And you guys are right! They are always an illustrious part of the events. I am hoping that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir president might consider either Sarah Brightman or Lea Salonga as guest artists for future Christmas programs. Thanks again for replying to me, and God bless!

[@Glen.Danielsen]

gamalieli Right. That is what we do with our LDS Christmas celebrations, where we invite guest stars. But Pioneer Day honors a legacy that is particular to Latter-day Saints. We do it a disservice when turn it into a Broadway-centered event.

My wife's birthday is Pioneer Day in Utah, July 24. It's pretty cool to have the whole state celebrate her day!! Frankly, her birthday is the only valid reason for the celebration. The "pioneers" were (IMO) brainwashed, zealot dolts and should not be celebrated---even though my ancestors were among those very pioneers. ;)
